COMPARISON WITH PARAMICS

VISSIM vs. PARAMICS
Many adjustable parameters y j p
Good 3D mode for simulation output
Most suitable for simulating Indian driving behaviour / mixed flow conditions
More flexibility in modeling
More diversified in network detailing
Compatibility with external tools

VISSIM vs. PARAMICS
PARAMICS VISSIM
1. Real roundabout function2. Real curve function3. Set of data files instead of a single
file => more convenient to adjust
1. Many adjustable parameters in the interfaces
2. Pedestrian definition3. Definable and adjustable yield sign
Advantages parameter
4. Curb function allows to adjust the overlay to match real world network
location4. Good 3D mode for displaying
simulation5. Ability to define different lane width for
one link6. Ability to see the link length directly on
the desktop
1. The interface is not as friendly as the 1. No real roundabout function
Disadvantages
1. The interface is not as friendly as the other softwares
2. Unless correct sequence is followed, it takes time to adjust the curb.
3. The midline is corresponding to the
1. No real roundabout function2. Difficult to draw a circle3. Circular islands difficult to define4. Turning must be defined as one lane to
one lane between links3. The midline is corresponding to the curb
one lane between links
